I know this might upset some but I'm very proud of my daughter. Please read to the end and post after you read all the way thru. There is some truth that I believe others should see.

All the time people keep asking me
what i thought vanning is, here is a definition
past, present,and future:


PAST-


big or small we all are still equal
vanning is ment to be fun and games
somewhere where adults can relive there childhood
with out taking a step back
vannings are where childern can be free to no end and still be safe
because everyone has eachothers back
we all have watched eachother grow up and seen what they became
and wat they became is truely a miracle
they all became happy strong independant loving people
that share their fun with everyone around them
van rallies used to be like a fairytale
where u didnt have to worry about anything
because everyone around u helped
wen i was little i use to think i was one of the luckiest kid in the world because i saw wat vanning was
not just the partying
i saw wat it truely ment to be a vanner


PRESENT-


lately i have been wondering what vanning truely is
i know what it is but for some they are starting to forget
Vanning isnt about where u have it
fair ground or not
its about laying back and having fun with your friends
it doesnt matter if you have a van or not as long as ur a vanner at heart
When i was younger there use to be no fights or atleast very few
but now the older i get the more people seperate
vanning isnt suppose to be like high school
where you have your jocks
preps nerds and others
vanning is one giant family that is there to releave you from stress and worries
not to create them


FUTURE-


i truthfully can not say that i know what is gonna happen in the future
but i do know where it will be based on peoples decissions
if we choose to have a stareotypical vanning life style
then there will be no vanning left
but if we choose to help eachother and not let a few people decide what
stays and goes we can save vanning
people say look toward the young vanners cus they are the future
well here is one that wants to help but never gets a chance to be heard
this is my way of being heard take it or leave it
its all up to u


Live everyday like there is no tomorrow.

Krowbar and Dot 1st generation
Monica and RJ 2nd generation

She would love to see vanning grow but it has to come from all of us.

Wonderful words of wisdom from the eyes of one of our own!

I totally agree--I have said that without the freedom of creativity our lifestyle wouldn't have survived this long and we need to remember that we all may be different in our creativity yet one in our efforts then we will be just fine.

Monica, you should be proud of Sylvia, she has said what many can't! And thank you Sylvia for saying so loudly and firmly!

VAN ON Ladies!


Cherish your friends!
HUGGS to all!

That is the risk you run when you exclude people for what ever reason.A few years ago the Nationals were held in PA not to far from Bloomsburg.It was held on the same weekend as the Family Events 4x4 jamboree in Bloomsburg.If I remember right the Nationals had less then 600 vans show up.Bloomsburg had over 4,000 4x4s of all kinds.It didn't matter if it was home made or whatever.You also didn't need to bring a 4x4 to get in and look at the 4x4s.Over the three day weekend over 30,000 people payed to come in and look at the 4x4s.Four wheels also have an image problem but they include anyone that wants to see thing for themselves.

I like this. Very well stated ! We are doing our best to raise our girls to be vanners, and so far they love the life style.

When I started vanning I thought it was a big happy family, then you start to find out about all of the little grudges and petty things people hold against each other, whether it's over the show n shine, a good time gone wrong, something discriminatory or worse. It's a bummer. We just gotta keep rolling double nickels down the freeway and promote good times and smiles for miles. we can get back on track.


I go to Truck-ins. How about you?
